Approximate starting prices per pair as last reviewed 31 July 2026 . Prices, features and trial terms change and vary by model, confirm on the brand's site. Over-the-counter hearing aids are for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss; see an audiologist for severe loss. Not medical advice.

How to choose. Sort by price to set your budget, then filter for what you need. Style: in-canal models are the most discreet, behind-the-ear (BTE) fit more powerful electronics. Bluetooth lets you stream calls and audio. Self-fitting aids tune to your own hearing test for clearer sound. A long trial matters because your brain needs weeks to adjust, so don't judge on day one. AirPods Pro 2 are included because Apple added an FDA-cleared hearing-aid mode.

What is the cheapest OTC hearing aid?

Audien from about $99 to $189 a pair, then MDHearing and Go Hearing from $200 to $700. These restore basic amplification cheaply but skip Bluetooth and apps. Filter to "Under $500" above.

Can AirPods Pro 2 really work as hearing aids?

Yes, since 2024 they include an FDA-cleared Hearing Aid feature with a built-in test, for mild to moderate loss. At ~$249 they are great value and the most discreet, with shorter battery life than dedicated aids.

Do they come with a trial?

Most do. Jabra Enhance runs a long 100-day trial; Sony, Lexie, Eargo and others offer 45 days. Filter for "Long trial (60+ days)" if you want more time to adjust.
